Ab-Soul’s Jerome D.-directed video for “Empathy.” Actually, it came out a month ago now and we missed getting it into the mix, which is fine actually. At the end of the day, posting the vid now gives us a reason to reiterate how strong Control System is and encourage folks to listen (it’s still streaming for free), cop and support. And the slow, brooding track makes for solid Sunday music as Soulo sings and raps over the simplest of production by Skhye Hutch.

Through recent posts, and a Crew Love, CS has been getting a lot of praise or admiration from the T.S.S. Is there gonna be a review? I’m not commanding you do one, though…Come to think of it, it wasn’t even a month ago. Never-mind, no rush…..This nigga Ab-Soul is T.D.E.’s secret weapon.

I wasn’t even checking for this project until I heard the stream a couple weeks ago, but Control System is dope! The endearing quality of K. Dot, Jay Rock, Q, and Ab-Soul is their unabashed display of emotion and life experiences. There’s no phony rapper facade when it comes to them and their music.
